I used to be able to download videoes from my facebook but after I installed windows media player I can't. The video goes full screen instead with no way to download (from what I can tell). I uninstalled windows media player but am still having the same issue. I tried refreshing firefox but it didn't help. I can't find what's causing this issue. I've attached an image of the video playing after I picked download.

Is it opening and playing the video file?

I know that, on certain websites, pressing a download button on a video will cause Firefox to open the video file and start playing it instead of downloading. I suspect maybe this is what's happening.

If that's the case, you should be able to right-click on the video after you have already pressed download and then select Save video as.

Hope this helps.
